New Projects in Progress
Before the "Shelter in Place" order, I began work on several mural projects at Bay Area Schools. In some cases we are are continuing, at least the design phase, with students via email.

"Outer Space"
with 3-5th graders, in the After School Program 
at Marjorie Tobias Elementary School, Daly City
This project (a continuation of collaboration with Tobias started 3/18) began on March 9, 2020, right before schools closed. We completed Steps 1-2, below. I have been continuing to work on the design at home, and with students online. 
Step 1: Discussion of theme, and items to include
The students were working on an Outer Space theme for their yearbook, and wanted that for this semester's Mural theme, too. I have been working with them for the past 4 semesters on Mural projects on the Playground Wall. (See school-murals-2015-2019.html)

Step 2: Individual Drawings

Step 3: Composition of Mural 
​
I composed the mural from their drawings.

Then I colored in the background. I emailed their individual drawings to them to color and email back to me. I will transfer their colors to the large drawing, and we'll reference that when painting, hopefully, this fall.

CoCA's Open Studios events are unlike any other art event: 
​• 
Get up close and personal with the artists. Here's your chance to get to know the artists in the intimate setting of their own studios. Talk about their work and ask questions about their technique.

• You can see a larger body of work than anywhere else. Each artist can show their entire collection. Each artist is free to show what ever they do best and the evolution of their body of work.

• Discover hidden artistic talent. CoCA's Open Studios is an incubator for emerging and well-established Coastside artists. ​​
​Follow the Signs!
